During this trip planning process I’ve been keeping an eye on the wildfires out west and hoping for the best. I’ve decided that some major edits need to be made to my route. I was very much looking forward to revisiting the Northwest, but it will have to wait. This leaves me rerouting the entire … More Rerouting
Its been a quiet year, but big things are about to happen! To kick this off, I’ve revamped the look of this blog- what do you think? Starting on the 31st I’ll be heading out to wander across the US and Canada, revisiting some favorites and discovering new. So far, the general route looks like … More This woman is going to wander!

Exploring familiar places with someone who’s never visited brings a whole new perspective. I found myself zeroing in on small details, colors and textures.

And in case you missed the information: While cleaning out a cabinet in my studio today, in search of supplies for several projects I’m working on, I found several envelopes of film I’d had developed but never did anything with. I’ll share some of them over the next few days. Also in the works, hand … More Holiday Marketplace and B&W Film
Since my recent addition of bookmarks to my merchandise was so successful, I decided design a few more. The fox one was easy enough, as my sister had already told me…repeatedly…which was her favorite. 😉 I wanted to design a black bear bookmark as well, but I’ve been having trouble narrowing down my choices. Then … More Which Bear?

A section of it can be driven through by the … More Abandoned Town In The Smokies
